I recently installed Google Cloud Print on my home desktop and it works great. I can print to my desktop printer from my laptop, my Kindle Fire, and my Android phone.

I then installed it on a friend's machine for him to use. Again, no problems.

I then installed it on my son's home machine. But no matter what you use to print to it, my Droid, my son's Galaxy SIII, or my granddaughter's iPad, any page printed has "CONFIDENTIAL" printed in large block letters from the bottom left to the top right, overlaid over whatever is being printed.

When I Google this, I find one problem like this printing from a Nexus 7, but there is no answer or solution.

I usually do my damnedest to steer clear of anything branded google (I prefer to call them Gargoyle). This sounds like a global setting (since it shows up wherever you print). Typically programs like this have some sort of “options” that you can go into and change global settings.

Good luck.

Actually, before you try reinstalling the printer driver you should also check the control panel on the printer itself. There should be an option there to turn off the watermark if you don’t have printer utilities installed on one of the computers that connect to it.

From the print dialog box that opens after you click ‘print’, click on properties and locate the option for ‘watermark’ - turn it off. It is a watermark, some drivers or machines enable it by default (my win 7 machine on my desk printing to an HP at my office did so when I installed it).
